  • all internal services will be accessible

    What? Only when they are configured to listen on outside interfaces. Which, granted, they often are in default configuration, but when OP uses Docker on that host, chances are kinda slim that they run some rando unconfigured database directly. Which still would be password or authentication protected in default config.

    I mean, it is never wrong slapping a firewall onto something, I guess. But OTOH those “all services will be exposed and evil haxxors will take you over” is also a disservice.









  • It’s my understanding that NFT technology could be used for things like proving copyright ownership;

    Yep. I mean the whole blockchain thing kind of rode on the promise of “trustless contracts” which would be amazing.

    All we got was just overpriced bits though, for the price of the health of our planet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯




  • And “imports” do not happen, because there isn’t enough domestic energy to be had, like right-wing fearmongers want you to believe.

    They happen because the European grid is working as intended and it just is the economically viable option to import instead of firing up expensive plants.




  • That would kind of explain what those teleport engineers are doing all day in the transporter room. According to stardates, they kind of transport like 3 people every month or so, but always be chilling at the ready in the transporter room.

    Now if they always have to dispose of the bodies in the meantime, maybe they have holographic therapy in between all the time.



  • TBH I was in the same boat, and finally went usenet when they rised the prices for all that streaming shit across the board, once again. Took me one afternoon to figure out.

    I’d like to torrent, it’s morally more piratey, as in “if I pirate already, then it should be totally free”, but the usenet experience just is so much cleaner. And now I still pay, but like 30ish € per year and have no headache anymore and basically all the streaming services at my fingertips.



  • why didn’t we have 8 billion people a thousand years ago when we had all the solar, wind, and renewable energy we have now?

    Because…power delivery and storage is also a thing? Like, electricity, and batteries? Which make renewable energy way more accessible. Ever heard of electric cars?

    While cheap energy certainly played a huge role, medicine and other technology play an equal part.

    They also kinda had fossil fuels back then, oil could be found on the surface. Why didn’t have the Romans a billion population, when they could find oil on the surface?
